Night and Fog


I would first like to talk about the first scene, it is so unreal.  The scene focuses in on a meadow and you think it is a beautiful meadow with crows and such, as the narrator says it is, but as the camera pulls back to a wider shot- you can see the bars and electric fences that surround the meadow.  At that point you realize that something so pretty can be turned into something terrible.  As this is happening the narrator is explaining that in a normal town, at own that has meadows, and fairs and normal life flouting about- can also have a concentration camp, how sad!  The town now has nothing..  No concentration camp, no normal life, no town anymore.  It is so crazy to see the process of building these camps.  The scene in which it shows the process of building the camps like it is just another building.  There is a picture of a man smiling as he is holding blueprints and walking along the nice meadow that will be turned into a horrible place.  It is just really unbelievable that people were able to do this with no care in the world.
